Jake Pavelka is Bold, Beautiful

Jake signs an autograph for someone who needs a hobby.

After appearing on The Bachelorette, starring as The Bachelor and competing on Dancing With the Stars, Jake Pavelka is trying to launch a real acting career.

Today, he appeared on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

"I play a pilot," said Pavelka, who is/was a pilot before becoming a professional reality star. "What's ironic is that it's harder to play a pilot than to be a pilot!"

Pavelka was offered the role in part because B&B producer Brad Bell flies planes, too. "He's a pilot himself and we had a whole lot in common," says Pavelka.

Also soaring is Pavelka's love life – he and wedding planner Meghan Jones are going strong. If that doesn't work out, there's always The Bachelor again.

Hey, it worked for Brad Womack.

"I read that story that I was begging to be The Bachelor again," says Jake, who was producers' backup plan after Kiptyn Locke, Reid Rosenthal, Womack and Maksim Chmerkovskiy (seriously) all turned it down. "That was news to me."

When Camille Met Kayte...

Camille Grammer met her still-husband's fiancee for the first time yesterday.

And the experience was so personal and so traumatic that she had to share it with the world on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live last night, following the most recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

"It was interesting to say the least," Camille told Andy Cohen. "I was delivering the kids to Kelsey, and he texted me and said, 'Kayte will be there.' And my girlfriend Deidre, who's on the show with me, said we have to go down and meet her."

And?!?

"She was nice, we both said hello. She has a very strong handshake... it was uncomfortable."

As it stands now, Camille won't let Kelsey go through with a hasty divorce, while Kesley wants to marry Kayte next month and... do you really care?

Yes, CBS is Concerned About Charlie Sheen

To a celebrity gossip site, Charlie Sheen is comedic gold. Seriously, the guy has is unabashed in his affection for porn star booty.

But to a television network that cuts him a mammoth check every year? Not so much.

At a press conference with reporters today, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler made it clear she has a "high level of concern" over the actor and his behavior.

“This man is a father, he’s got children, so obviously there’s concern on a personal level," Tassler said. "But Charlie’s a professional, he comes to work, he does his job extremely well... It’s very complicated."

Reportedly, CBS executives were contemplating some kind of intervention this week, following Sheen's antics in Las Vegas, but the star's lawyer wouldn't allow it. Why not just fire the guy? Well, Tassler replies:

“How do you get fired for going to work and doing your job?”

Might Justin Bieber Go Insane?

Debbie Gibson knows a thing or two dozen about success as a teenager.

At the age of 17, she became the youngest singer to write, produce and release a number-one hit on the Billboard 100. So at least this 40-year old is speaking from experience when she says of Justin Bieber's fame:

"It's too much too soon. People have to remember, even though a kid can be wise beyond their years professionally and can handle showbiz, emotionally you're not developed."

Justin Bieber is mature for his age. The kid has a mustache!

Gibson only has Bieber's best interest in mind, fearing the cute idol will "lose his sanity" at this rate, although Justin says he's already there.

"If I could get all these kids in a room, I'd tell them you're not superhuman," Gibson told E! News. "If you need to take a week off, take a week off. Everybody makes you think the world will end and it won't. If you say no, you save your sanity later."

Bieber, of course, has no plans to slow down. His 3D biopic hits theaters in February. So far, this 16-year appears to have his head on straight, although the same thing can't always be said of his fans.

Teresa Scanlan Crowned Miss America 2011

Teresa Scanlan is more than the latest Miss America pageant winner. She's also a maker of history.

The 17-year old from Gering, Nebraska was named the youngest champion of all-time on Saturday night, earning the crown by performing "White Water Chopsticks" on the piano. She was the only contestant to neither sing nor dance.

A graduate of Scottsbluff High School, Scanlan has earned a $50,000 scholarship and will attend Patrick Henry College in the fall.

During her year-long tenure, Teresa said her main focus will be on eating disorders and how they affect her generation. If she can't fulfill her duties - and, really, you never know with beauty queens - the runner-up (Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady) will take over.

Melissa Etheridge: Dating Linda Wallem, Ex-Wife's BFF, Tabloid Reports

The split between Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels just got a lot messier.

While the two continue to argue over financial issues, the singer's personal life has now come into focus - and it's a hurtful image for Michaels.

The National Enquirer reports that Etheridge is dating Linda Wallem, a producer on Nurse Jackie and someone who was in Tammy Lynn's wedding party when she married Melissa.

"Linda has been talking constantly on the set about how she and Melissa are in love and how they're in a committed relationship," a source tells the tabloid.

Etheridge and Michaels got married in 2003 and Wallem was right there with them, this friend says, adding:

"In lesbian terms, Linda was the 'best lady.' Now she's taken Tammy's place."

Kanye West Trash Talks Britney on Twitter

Kanye West pulled a Kanye West and trash talked Britney Spears and her #1 single, "Hold it Against Me," on Twitter. Jokingly, we think. Mostly.

"Yo Britney, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z's single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL,” Kanye wrote.

West's Tweet, of course, is a reference to his infamous Taylor Swift MTV VMA speech hijacking and to Kanye’s new song "H.A.M." (featuring Jay-Z).

While West later removed the Tweet, Spears' manager Adam Leber appeared none too impressed when he responded on the pop singer's behalf.

"Thanks for 'letting' us be #1," Leber wrote. "Much appreciated."

West later apologized for it, telling fans, "On a serious note I'm truly happy for Britney Spears. No hate in 2011... I thought LOL signified a joke."

Typically yes, but when you're a total loose cannon, sometimes the public won't automatically assume you're lighthearted or poking fun at yourself.

In any case, these guys aren't kidding about taking town Brit.

JWoww Kalls Out Kim Kardashian

JWoww roughed up Sammi on this week's Jersey Shore.

But lest you think she was done throwing down for the week, she had some words for Kim Kardashian as well. Specifically Kim's newer, fuller lips.

The MTV celebrity has no tolerance for stars who won't "man up" to having work done, writing "Funny how stars don't man up to plastic surgery."

"I did. Blaming it on colds, etc. is just hysterical. Get real!"

Amusingly, Heidi Montag, who famously underwent 10 plastic surgeries in one day, re-tweeted this comment. Kim says she's never tried to hide anything.

"I'm the first one to talk about anything that I do," she told Extra. "It really pisses me off that all of these plastic surgery rumors are always linked to me."

"I have the flu," Kardashian explained of her plumper pout. "I'm puffy and swollen, and I have no make-up on. Why would I just do my bottom lip?"

Kim? Upset about rumors involving her? We doubt it. Still, JWoww has a point. Just because Kim's 2sexy2tweet doesn't mean she has to lie about it.

Brooke Mueller Leaves Sober Living House

While the downward spiral of Charlie Sheen continues to spin drunkenly, the actor's ex-wife is getting her life back on track. Hopefully.

Reports confirm that Brooke Mueller has left the sober living house into which she checked late last year.

"Her treatment team felt that she is ready to leave and go back home," a source tells Radar Online, adding that Brooke has since "been enjoying spending time with her twins."

Which is nice to hear. Because Sheen clearly hasn't been.

The insider says Mueller now has a "very positive outlook for the future." The hardest part of the experience?

"Being away from the boys every night. She hated saying goodbye to them every night. Brooke would spend all day with them and tuck them in at night and then go to the sober living facility."
